On Monday, June 5, 2023, celebrity mom Kris Aquino posted a heartfelt birthday message for her eldest son, Josh, on Instagram.
The occasion marked Josh's 28th birthday, which was celebrated on Sunday, June 4, 2023.
Kris proudly shared a photo of Josh, accompanied by a heartfelt caption expressing her love and how much she misses him.
She wrote, "Kuya, i miss you and i love you so much… you’re where you want to be, surrounded by so many who love & care for you."
Kris also took this opportunity to honor and celebrate her son's milestone: reaching his fitness goal.
The actress-host revealed that she went shopping for new clothes for Josh at the mall since his old ones no longer fit due to his impressive progress.
She wrote, "Yesterday was only the 4th time in 1 year of being in the [US flag emoji] that mama went to a mall because i wanted to be the one to choose your new clothes.
"i’m so proud of you! Because of your discipline, jogging & swimming everyday, you’ve already lost more than 20 pounds. [clapping hands emoji]"
Despite her heartfelt desire to personally deliver gifts to her son, Kris revealed that she won't be able to do so due to her ongoing treatment for five autoimmune conditions.
She wrote, "Some people who love & miss you from here + 1 super special person will arrive in a few days to personally bring home all your gifts.
"Kuya, i wish i could join them, but mama needs a year & a half minimum of treatment because my latest blood panel confirmed i have 5 autoimmune conditions.
"Mama will need to semi-isolate in 3 weeks because my immunity already went down.
"You promised me you’ll spend Christmas up to my birthday here. Please keep praying for all of us?"
In the concluding part of her heartfelt birthday message to Josh, Kris wished her "super guapo Kuya" a happy birthday and expressed her profound love for him.
"Happy Birthday to our super guapo Kuya, i love you so much & yes i’m taking care of myself (that’s how he ends all his messages by telling me he loves me so much & to “take care of yourself, mama”) [yellow heart emoji]"
